libc.2

[Al Langen_1]

Patch PHCO_25640 does not contain libc.2. The error we are seeing is supposedly fixed by this patch. How? The description of the patch contains this: In a system with more than one set of locale libraries to be used by libc.1 and libc.2, libc.1 will use the wrong set of
locale libraries for the C locale. libc.1 needs to be
changed to use the locale libraries in the /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.1 directory instead of /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales, which is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.2 on a HP-UX 10.30 system. This
patch is needed for an HP-UX 10.20 machine if that machine is being used to build applications which you intend to run on future releases of HP-UX. This patch is not needed for
correct operation of programs on HP-UX 10.20 system, because
/usr/lib/nls/loc/locales is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.1.

Hi

If you look at

You will see that libc.2 is an 11.00 library and does not exist on 10.20

You cannot work like that.

try ln -s /usr/lib/libc.1 /usr/lib/libc.2 to make a library for your tests.

I have seen that resolution. It does not require the patch 25640 and appears to be a workaround.

Maybe my question should be more: If patch PHCO_25640 fixes the libc.2 problem, why do I not see libc.2 after loading the patch?

Please, I am looking for an answer and not a guess.

Hi


The answer there is a guess



cksum(1) Output:
1301699881 2457128 /usr/lib/libc.a
2010868942 2642540 /usr/lib/libp/libc.a

3794055262 12292 /usr/lib/libdbm.1
271691768 704 /usr/lib/year2000.o

Patch Conflicts: None

Is the output of 25640 and does not include libc.2

libc.2 is for 11.x and if you need to use it here you need to use a fix
